State Commander Llndt Is In favor of the
election ot General Stewart of Pennsylvania
tor national commander. Colonel Llndt
and General Stewart are old-time friends
and served together In the war from Penn
sylvania. Many of the old soldiers In this
city, however, are friendly toward Gen
eral Black of Illinois. Commander Llndt
stated yesterday that he would like to see
the Iowa delegation vote aa a unit, for
Stewart. He gave as his reason that Penn
sylvania had always stood by Iowa In the
past, and when Iowa asked that the Old
Soldiers' home be located west of the Mis
sissippi the old soldiers of Pennsylvania
voted with them and further Induced the
"ew York representatives to do likewise,
and as a result the home was located at
Fort Leavenworth. This being the case,
State Commander Llndt Is hopeful of the
Iowa vote going as a unit for Stewart.

Thieves broke Into the Rock Island and

evidently in search of money, as the cash
drawers at both places were found pried

succeeded In stealing an overcoat at the

that the thieves had also made futile at

the necessary tools. They also succeed d

DEMOCRACY DOES NOTHING FOR TOILERS
Fallacy of Deniocratle Theory That
Tariff Is the Mother of Trusts
Pointed Oat Congress
Needs Power.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
OSKALOOSA, Ia., Sept. 27. (Special.)
Hon. John F. Lacey opened his speaking
campaign this afternoon In the town of
Bethel, Mahaska county, where he formerly
lived, speaking at an afternoon meeting.
Major Lacey discussed chiefly the trusts,
the tariff, the Philippines and the ques
tion of labor union In politics. He Is op
posed by John P. Reese, until recently
preeldent of the District Mine Workers'
union, hence the labor question has been
thrown Into the campaign in his district
more than elsewhere. Major Lacey de
clared that the attempt Is being made In
the district to carry the labor unions into
politics, and not only to divert them from
their .present prudent and useful purposes,
but to unite them to the democratic party
upon the Kansas City and Chicago plat
forms, which platforms were indorsed by
the convention which nominated Reese for
congress. He declared his disbelief that
the time has come when a labor leader
can carry his union Into any political
party at his own will and especially to
make the labor unions a sideshow to the
free trade party. Should Mr. Reese be
elected to congress he would find that he
must co-operate with the democratic party,
and he will find that he has embarrassed
every labor union in the country by the
assumption that his election would amal
gamate the unions with the democratic
party. Every state In the union haa some
labor laws, but the democratic states of
the south have given less recognition to
labor than any others.
Lahor Favored by Republicans.
The laboring men of the country know full
well that the republican states ot the north
have enacted wholesome and necessary
laws along the various lines desired by the
labor organizations. They know that by
non-partisan action, keeping their unions
cut of politics, they have been enabled to
ask for legislation in Iowa of the repub
licans and In Missouri ot the democrats.
They know," he continued, "that the con
gress of the United States has enacted
numerous laws In the Interest of the labor
ing people of the country. The miners of
the whole country know full well that 1
have personally prepared and secured the
enactment of laws for their protection In
the territories of the United States, the
only part of the country where congress
haa the authority to regulate and control
the operation of mines. There Is only one
party ot labor In the United States and
that is the party formed nearly forty years
ago to make all labor free In this country."
In regard to trusts Major Lacey declared
that the question Is not new, tor the repub
lican party In 1890 passed the Sherman
anti-trust law, which forced these aggre
gations of capital to change their form and
by be6omtng great single corporations evade
that law. It has been a favorite doctrine
of our democratic friends, he said, that the
tariff Is the mother of trusts and that free
trade would cure the trust evil, but two ot
the greatest trusts in the country, the oil
trust and the coal trust, have no connec
tion with the tariff. There are trusts In
other countries and the Dlngley bill cannot
be responsible for them. They are an ev
olution of conditions which have arisen and
must be dealt with in a practical way.
Cona;ress Is Impotent.
Many of the states of the union have se
vere laws tending to curb the power of
these organizations and the courts have held
that the national congress has no power.
To meet this difficulty ' Speaker Henderson
was Instrumental in bringing forward the
proposed amendment to the constitution giv
ing congress the needed power to control
their organizations. Democrats opposed
this. The only remedy they propose is
to take off the duties on goods partly manu
factured by trusts. That this Is not the
remedy Is evident In the continuation of the
coal oil trust- and anthracite trust under
free trade.
In regard to the tariff he said that while
tariff schedules are not In any wise sacred
nor are they to be held unchangable, yet
they should never be disturbed for light
reasons because tariff agitation always un
settles the business of the country.
Democrats of Monona County.
ONAWA, Ia., Sept. 27. (Special Tele
gram.) The Monona county democratic
convention was called to order at the court

PROBLEM FOR THE DAY IS SOLVED
Has to Do with Advance Guard and
Possibility of Conflict with
Enemy tn Force and
Means Work.
FORT RILEY, Kan., Sept. 27. Today's
warfare between the armies of the Blues
and the Browns, consisted of preparing to
flaht without fighting. In military par
lance, the maneuvers are described as fol
lows. "The entire force on the march with
suitable advance guard for a division of
war strength, advance guard entire, main
body in part, imaginary." What was dene
was as follows: Early in the morning the
army of the Browns marched out to the
north line of the reservation, and then
wheeling about, went back over their tracks
until they came In sight of the advancing
army of the Blues. The Browns, supposed
to be only an advance guard supported by
an imaginary body of reserve troops, pre
pared for action as soon as they sighted the
Blues and the latter prepared for action
as rapidly as possible after the Browns
came over the horizon lines. When every
thing was ready for the killing to com
mence, everybody tramped back to camp
and the maneuvers of the day were over.
There Is nothing of the sham battle order
about the maneuvers, which have now fairly
opened. There is nothing of the pomp and
glitter of war. It Is all business. There
are no spectacular charges with much noisy
consumption of gunpowder. Everything is
done with the object of conveying a les
son, and when the problem has been ex
plained, the maneuver is over. There will
be no question of "who wins" in army ma
neuvers. Everything Is done with the Idea
of teaching the younger officers ot the regu
lar army and the visitors of the National
Guard how such things should be done in
the presence of an actual enemy.
Disposition of the Forces.
The advance guard ot the main body, un
der the command of General Bates, com
prised Company B of the First battalion
of engineers in the first squadron of the
Fourth cavalry, less one platoon, which
remained with the main body; the Seventh
battery of field artillery and two guns ot
the Sixth battery of field artillery; the
Eighteenth Infantry, two battalions of the
Twenty-second infantry and a squad cf ten
men of the hospital corps. It was accom
panied by a number of wagons carrying am
munition and entrenching tools and six am
bulances. There were In the advance guard
about 2,500 men. The main body comprised
all the remaining troops In camp, about
4,600 In number. This formed the army of
the Blues.
The Browns, who by power of the Imag
ination were equal to the Blues In num
bers, were commanded by Colonel C. C. C.
Carr, and. consisted only of the second
squadron ot the Fourth cavalry, first
squadron of the Eighth cavalry and the
Sixth battery of field artillery, less the
two guns who were with the Blues.
The Browns moved out early In the
morning and at 9 o'clock were In position
near the north line of the reservation,
where Colonel Carr formed his men for
battle. Extending hla lines as much as
possible to give the Impression that his
force was larger than It was. The Twenty
second Infantry was on the left and left
center, and the Eighteenth had the right
and right center.
Form for the Battle.
Meanwhile, along what Is known as the
"Old Governor Harvey road," General
Bates was advancing with his army. Awsy
out on either flank his scouts were thrown
and the light cavalry riding in advance of
the column eagerly watched for Colonel
Carr and his Browns. When they were
finally sighted word was given to push for
ward as tar as possible for some high
ground In front of the column. The troops
deployed rapidly, forming lines of battle
as they hastened up the hills. The bat
teries dashed Into position and with an
almost Incredible speed were ready to open
upon the enemy. The Infantry reserves
behind the main line of battle fell Into
position and ambulances and ammunition
wagons went bumping over the rough
prairie ground to the places where they
could extend the greatest assistance.
When preparations tor battle were com
pleted the umpires declared the end of the
day's work sad ths march back to camp
was taken up.
